    I had not bothered looking as I thought fish had not recovered. A pair of Goosander yesterday with a Heron. I checked today, the Heron remained on the island where it used to be usually.

    The 3 Coot chicks are now swimming around another branch that dips into the water. It was good to see another Coot has built an impressive nest (lol) in the middle of the inlet / shallow area. Song Thrush again singing nearby.

    The Swan did not stay long, next time I looked it was gone. The Coot that had built a nest next to the island on a tree branch that dips into the water has 3 chicks. A Song Thrush was singing nearby.

    My last post for this site was the death of a Swan. I always take a quick look. Finally a Swan has returned. There was a Heron over winter. There's a pair of Tufted ducks. As at most lakes now, a Coot is sat on a nest.
